Man United To
Battle Barca For Lucas Lima

Manchester United could emerge as rivals to Barcelona to
land Lucas Lima on a free transfer in January, claims the Manchester Evening
News.

The Santos star has refused to extend his deal and will
allow his contract to expire at the end of the calendar year.

The Blaugrana were thought to have a deal in place, but more
suitors have emerged after Ernesto Valverde signed Paulinho and Ousmane
Dembele.

Crystal Palace and Fenerbahce made offers this summer, but
Lucas should have bigger clubs making moves at the turn of the year, with his
agent Luccas Badia revealing Barcelona, Roma, Inter and United have all made
enquiries.

Milan Eye Jankto

AC Milan are ready to resume their mass spending once the
January transfer window opens, with Corriere dello Sport reporting Jakub Jankto
could be a player they bid heavily for.

The 21-year-old has shone for Udinese and attracted some of
Europe's biggest clubs to send scouts to keep tabs on him in recent weeks.

Typically a box-to-box midfielder, the Czech starlet could
help Vincenzo Montella to use a more fluid 4-3-3 system alongside Franck Kessie
either side of a holding midfielder.

Real Set For
'Panic' Spend In January

Real Madrid could splash the cash to solidify Zinedine
Zidane's side after a sloppy start to the season.

Los Blancos are already seven points behind Barcelona in La
Liga, meaning the two-time reigning Champions League winners will line up
several pricey targets to help them make a strong push in the second half of
the season.

And the Daily Star suggests Paulo Dybala, Antoine Griezmann
(given Diego Costa's impending arrival at Atleti) and Timo Werner are all under
consideration.

After selling Alvaro Morata to Chelsea, Real are left with
only unorthodox options or Borja Mayoral to back up Karim Benzema.
